What Is Happening to Assange Will Happen to the Rest of Us - Common Ground
WikiLeaks has done more than any other news organization to expose the abuses of power and crimes of the American empire
This global security state is a terrifying melding of the corporate and the public. And what it has done to Assange it will soon do
to the rest of us.
“Assange, Manning, Snowden and other targeted, mostly white dissidents are at the vanguard of resistance to corporate enslavement.”
Where We Go One We Go All
David Morales, the indicted owner of the Spanish private security firm Undercover Global, is being investigated by Spain’s high court for allegedly providing the CIA with audio and video recordings of the meetings WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange had with his attorneys and other visitors when the publisher was in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
The security firm also reportedly photographed the passports of all of Assange’s visitors. It is accused of taking visitors’ phones, which were not permitted in the embassy, and opening them, presumably in an effort to intercept calls. It reportedly stole data from laptops, electronic tablets and USB sticks, all required to be left at the embassy reception area. It allegedly compiled detailed reports on all of Assange’s meetings and conversations with visitors.
The firm even is said to have planned to steal the diaper of a baby - brought to visit Assange - to perform a DNA test to establish whether the infant was a secret son of Assange. UC Global, apparently at the behest of the CIA, also allegedly spied on Ecuadorian diplomats who worked in the London embassy.

And, in the revelation that may have set off the new Cold War, Wikileaks showed that, not only was the Hillary Clinton campaign monumentally corrupt, but the top Democrat was urging all of her forces to encourage the Republicans to nominate Donald Trump, believing he was easy to beat.
“The videos and audio recordings accessed by the Repubblica reveal the extreme violations of privacy that Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks journalists, lawyers, doctors and reporters were subjected to inside the embassy, and represent a shocking case study of the impossibility of protecting journalistic sources and materials in such a hostile environment,” the Italian newspaper wrote. “This espionage operation is particularly shocking if we consider that Assange was protected by asylum, and if we consider that the information gathered will be used by the United States to support his extradition and put him in prison for the crimes for which he is currently charged and for which he risks 175 years in prison: the publication of secret US government documents revealing war crimes and torture, from Afghanistan to Iraq to Guantanamo.”
Wikileaks, along with Edward Snowden’s revelations, has been fantastically disruptive of U.S. imperial and domestic corporate governance. But the national security state’s counter-strike - “Russiagate,” and the new Cold War - combined with the global American military offensive that began in 2011 with the attack on Libya, has pushed the world to the edge of the precipice.
The oligarchs are afraid, which is why they are taking to the electoral field with their own money, to defend their dictatorship. In desperation and monumental hubris, they make huge mistakes that need to be captured and displayed. Outside the imperial homeland, they widen their wars with capitalist sanctions as well as fascist bombs and bullets, attempting to terrorize the planet, but instead quicken the processes of their own decline.
The global political corporate industrial military banking media complex is nothing more than organized crime.
We need to shine billions of spotlights on these fat rats as they scurry from crime to crime.
If you need any further example of this, simply look to China. Huawei 5G and surveillance hell on earth.
The publication of classified documents is not yet a crime in the United States. If Assange is extradited and convicted, it will become one.
Assange is not an American citizen. WikiLeaks, which he founded, is not a U.S.-based publication. The extradition of Assange would mean
the end of journalistic investigations into the inner workings of power. It would cement into place a terrifying global, corporate tyranny
under which borders, nationality and law mean nothing. Once such a legal precedent is set, any publication that publishes classified material,
from The New York Times to an alternative website, will be prosecuted and silenced.
